Gore To Eagles? Not So Fast
Ed Szczepanski / USA TODAY Sports
Frank Gore has apparently gotten cold feet.
News spread far and wide Sunday that Gore had agreed to a three-year deal ($7.5 million guaranteed in first two years) with the Eagles. Contracts cannot be signed until 4 p.m. Tuesday when the legal tampering period of free agency ends and the league year begins, however, and it sounds like Gore has had a change of heart.

With negotiations still ongoing — no deals are final — keep an eye on the #Colts for the coveted services of RB Frank Gore. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2015
Told by a friend of Gore’s that he was in tears last night. Obviously conflicted. Has been curious abt Colts, working w/ Luck for some time.

It looks like the Eagles might need to go to Plan B. DeMarco Murray, C.J. Spiller and Ryan Matthews top Rotoworld‘s list of free-agent backs. Justin Forsett, Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley are also on the market.
More as it becomes available.
